You could be forgiven for thinking that the FS Team has a carbon? But the way in which the tubes appear to? Ow into one another is a result of clever welding – the FS Team has a butted aluminium frame. The organic joints are the result of a multiple-pass welding process, leaving smooth welds old-school riders will? Nd remarkably similar to the? Llet-brazing process popular in the early days. Boardman aren’t the only manufacturers to use smooth welds, but they’ve used them heavily – only the bottom bracket joints reveal more familiar weld beads. The combined effect of tube shaping, external reinforcement and smooth welds is certainly eye-catching. A tapered head tube leads the way, an impressive inclusion at this price, and the top and down tubes are? Ared at the front to put plenty of meat into the head tube area. At the back, a variant of the four-bar suspension design delivers 130mm of travel. Please note we are unable to provide technical information re your choice of components to build.
